چکیده
Roger Gordon is a Professor at Memorial University of Newfoundland. He received his Honours B.Sc. (Zoology) and Ph.D. (Zoology) from the University of Sheffield, England, specializing in the areas of entomology and parasitology. He teaches courses in entomology, parasitology, animal physiology, general zoology, and introductory biology. His research interests include the study of host-parasite relationships between insects and parasitic nematodes, the culture of insect-parasitic nematodes, and the control of insect pests by nematodes and juvenile hormone analogs.

Four treatments were assigned to determine the effects of dietary potential digestible fiber (pdF) and crude protein (CP) levels in mid lactating Holstein cows on milk production and nitrogen efficiency. Sixteen primiparous (n=8) and multiparous (n=8) Holstein cows (body weight (BW)=546±72 kg; days in milk (DIM)=118±50 day) were allocated to one of four diets in balanced randomized complete des...

In 1895, Hopkins described the white and yellow wing pigments of Pieridae as ' . . .excretory substances which function in ornament...' (Hopkins, 1895). ^ those days, it was generally recognized that purines, especially uric acid, were excretory products. Hopkins thought that the white substance was uric acid and that the yellow one was a derivative. In 1925 Wigglesworth still believed the wing...

Consumer-driven nutrient cycling has been shown to be an important process in supplying inorganic nutrients to autotrophic and heterotrophic organisms in aquatic ecosystems. Theory indicates that consumer nutrient excretion is influenced primarily by an organism’s nutrient composition; however, an organism’s diet should also play an important role in nutrient excretion, especially if the consum...
متن کاملInsects as a Nitrogen Source for Plants
Many plants have evolved adaptations in order to survive in low nitrogen environments. One of the best-known adaptations is that of plant symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing bacteria; this is the major route by which nitrogen is incorporated into plant biomass. A portion of this plant-associated nitrogen is then lost to insects through herbivory, and insects represent a nitrogen reservoir that is ge...
